'Alpha and Omega" is a story of forbidden love and adventure, and although it is cliché at times, this movie is most definitely an enjoyable one. Although the story isn't as in-depth as I had hoped it would be, and the humor is somewhat sparse, the movie is very funny at times. The 3D graphics are good as well. The story takes place in a very scenic part of Canada called Jasper Park. The main characters, Humphrey (the goofy, unsophisticated Omega wolf voiced by Justin Long)

The latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend increasing "the amount and variety of seafood consumed by choosing seafood in place of some meat and poultry. " But, why? The main reason is that fish and other seafood contain two omega-3 fats associated with a reduced risk for heart problems: docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Science suggests that eating about eight ounces of a variety of seafood each week — which provides a daily average of about 250 mg of DHA/EPA — may convey these heart-healthy benefits.

I think it is sad that you would let Mr. Anthony write such a disgusting anti-Christian review last week of The Omega Code, a movie he hasn't even seen yet. If you have any morals, you would print a retraction and a public apology for the obvious anti-Christian slant Mr. Anthony had against the makers of The Omega Code. By the way, The Omega Code was the No. 1 movie at the box office last week in the per screen category. Please find some professionals to write your reviews from now on and get rid of reviewers like Mr. Anthony who let their personal bigotry interfere with their writing duties.

Everyone seems to be popping omega-3 fatty acid supplements these days. In fact, omega-3s are the most common nonvitamin, nonmineral natural product taken by adults, according to a survey by the National Center for Health Statistics and the National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine. And it's no surprise, since the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids have been widely proclaimed by just about everyone, including nutrition experts and health organizations (American Heart Association and the U.S. Department of Agriculture)

It always bodes ill when a film's distributors show so little faith in their product that they refuse to hold press previews. I think I speak for most of my colleagues in the reviewing biz when I thank the handlers of The Omega Code for sparing us the pain of witnessing their handiwork. Consider the cast: Casper Van Dien stars; he was singled out for his wooden acting in Starship Troopers. Michael York once had a respectable career, but of late the high point has been his self-parodying turns in the Austin Powers films.

Three reputed Omega 7 terrorists have been sentenced in federal court to the maximum of 10 years in prison for trying to kill the Cuban ambassador to the United Nations and bombing the Cuban mission. Pedro "Manolo" Remon, Andres "Tato" Garcia and Eduardo "Tito" Losada-Fernandez were sentenced Thursday to the maximum prison term by U.S District Court Judge Robert Ward. He expressed obvious support for the end they sought, deposing Cuban Premier Fidel Castro, but not their means. Although identified as members of the New Jersey "cell" of the Miami based Omega 7, they "made neither affirmation of their political and moral principles . . . nor an apology and expression of remorse," according to the government.

Older people living in Palm Beach County are getting some extra, valuable and welcome help from a $4.5 million project called Omega. It's a smart, sensible four-year program to provide practical, meaningful benefits to older people, at a time in their lives when they need that help the most. Omega is starting out by distributing 75,000 copies of an updated and expanded Senior Resource Guide. This large-print booklet is chock-full of useful phone numbers and information about health insurance, home health aides, long-term care insurance, finances and other issues of concern to seniors.

A government prose-cu-tor claimed Tuesday in the second weapons trial of convicted ter-ror-ist-bomber Eduardo Arocena that he is "Omar" -- leader of the Omega 7 militant Cuban exile group. Assistant U.S. Attorney Frederick Mann told a six-man, six-woman jury that Arocena, 41, ad-mitted to a New York City police detective and FBI agents in a New York motel on Sept. 22, 1982 that, "I am Omar. I am the leader of Omega 7." Arocena has always denied publicly he is the notorious Omar, the figure who claimed responsibility for dozens of anti-communist bombings.

boca raton The Food and Drug Administration has given the go-ahead for the first nonprescription diet pill. But this diet pill may cause disease in dieters, especially when used in conjunction with a low fat diet. In 1927, scientists first noticed that a deficiency in fat affects both growth and reproduction. This observation began a hunt for what they called "Vitamin F." Researchers eventually found two: linoleic (omega 6) and linolenic (omega 3) acids.

Omega Fun `N` Travel, under fire from state regulators for alleged deceptive sales tactics, has shut its doors, leaving customers who paid for vacations to the Bahamas in the lurch. Callers to the agency`s Fort Lauderdale office on Tuesday heard a recording stating that Omega "is no longer in business." "They said they would not be able to travel anybody," Assistant Attorney General Jeff Rubinton said. "We`re hoping there are assets (to repay travelers)." Omega owner Alexander M. Siegel said on Tuesday that the travel agency closed because "various entities" did not pay bills owed to it. Siegel, a Broward lawyer, said he had "no idea" how many travelers would lose money.

There's a super-important nutrient that, chances are, you're not getting enough of: omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are a nutrient powerhouse, shown to improve heart health and mood. There are two kinds of omega-3s, in particular, that are important for overall health: docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). "They are longer than other omega-3s (like alpha-linolenic acid, or ALA), so they make your cell membranes more fluid, which helps brain, eye and nerve cells function better," says Kantha Shelke, Ph.D., a spokesperson for the Institute of Food Technologists.

Health nuts are getting serious about seeds. The blogosphere is going crazy for chia seeds (yes, like the "pets") and hemp seed sales grew 156 percent between 2008 and 2010. It's no wonder: Seeds deliver as much protein as nuts (and in some cases more), and all three of these seeds deliver heart-healthy alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the plant-based omega-3 fat, also found in walnuts. CHIA SEEDS Chia seeds may have celebrity status as the newest superfood fad, but they've been around for centuries (they were prized by the Aztecs)

Who : Igor Polotsky What : Polotsky is a CW21 (Certified Watchmaker of the 21st Century) for Raymond Lee Jewelers in Boca Raton . The certification, one of several that he has, is a valuable addition to a watchmaker's cache.

He's one of a handful of Cartier approved watchmakers in the country; and he recently completed training for certification for Omega (Swatch)

Q : I'm confused about omega-3 fats. Are the different types equally good for you? A : There are three main types to keep track of: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). EPA and DHA are found mainly in fish, so they're sometimes called marine omega-3s. ALA is found in plant-based foods, such as flaxseed, walnuts, and canola and soybean oils. So far, the evidence for EPA and DHA having health benefits is more extensive than for ALA. Studies have shown that EPA and DHA offer some measure of protection against heart attacks and strokes.

Dear Pharmacist: You mentioned in a prior column that fish oils could help with depression. I can't verify that with my doctor, and I take high doses of Wellbutrin. What do you recommend? -- R.V., Lawrenceburg, Tenn. Dear R.V.: It's no secret. Research studies point to lots of benefits from omega-3 fish oils. In 1998, a Lancet study compared statistics regarding depression with fish consumption and found that populations consuming higher amounts of cold-water seafood experienced less depression.

Scientists in Canada and Nepal recently analyzed cheese made from the milk of the yak, a hairy, noisy Asian relative of our common cattle. The cheese came from the milk of yaks grazing on wild herbs and shrubs at altitudes of 6,000 to 12,000 feet. Not surprisingly, yak cheese turned out to be very different from cheddar made with the milk of Canadian cows on a diet of hay and grain. In particular, it contained higher levels of the essential omega-3 fatty acids that are found in fish and plants.
